Venue and Pitch Analysis
New York has offered toughest batting conditions in the mega event so far. Sri Lanka and Ireland were shot out for just 77 and 96 runs in the two matches played at this venue. Batting overall is very tough on this pitch and despite the ICC’s statement, the surface is unlikely to change drastically with score around 140 to be par in these conditions.

Head-to-Head Record India vs Pakistan
India have dominated Pakistan in T20Is with nine wins in 12 matches while the men in green have emerged victorious in three of those games.
India
India started their campaign on a high, dismissing Ireland for just 96 runs and then chasing the score down with eight wickets in hand. Virat Kohli endured a rare failure but Rohit Sharma scored a sparkling fifty while Rishabh Pant also looked in good touch. The bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah is also in great form and with more help from the pitch, they will be itching to get on the field.
Pakistan
Pakistan suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the USA in their previous game. They were sloppy in the field and poor with both bat and bowl. To get the better of India, Babar Azam and his men will have to be at their best to have any chance of avoiding their second consecutive loss at the World Cup. A loss here will put their Super 8 qualification in jeopardy.
